Example 1
Let f(x) be a polynomial in x - c, f(x) = a0 + a1(x - c) + ... + an(x - c)n. This is just a power series with all but the first n + 1 coefficients equal to zero. So by Theorem 1, the Taylor series of the polynomial is just the polynomial itself followed by infinitely many zeros, a0 + a1(x - c) + ... + an(x - c)n + 0 + 0 + .... We can also see this directly from Lemma 1 of the last section, namely for m ≤ n.
